Amber Dubois has been missing since Friday, February 13th, 2009.  Amber lives in Escondido, CA, and went missing on her way to school, please check out Missing Children.

There have been candle light vigil, national attention from America’s Most Wanted and other News stories and still no solid leads.  Is it possible for a child to disappear without a trace? This is something that it hard for each of us to understand. How does this happen?  Her father wrote this heart wrenching letter to let her know that he is searching for her.

Amber,

Hello my sweetheart, this is Dad. It’s late Friday night and I wanted to write you this letter since you are not here with me. This was supposed to be our weekend together and this afternoon at about the time I should be picking you up from the train station I was thinking about what I could do to talk to you like we would be doing right now. So I decided that tonight I would write you this letter and get it out where you might get a chance to read it.

One of your friends brought over a CD with pictures of you and your friends at their birthday beach party. Some cool pictures of you guys, one is of you running in the water at night by the pier with a cool sunset behind you. It reminds me of our midnight grunion run while camping last summer and all the fun we had that night catching all those darn fish with our hands. I guarantee on our next run, I will catch more than you!!!

Your Teacher Mr. Reyburn is keeping your lamb, ( Nénette ) for you till you get back. You can bet your Mom is looking as hard as she can for you since she will be doing your barn clean-up duties until you return.

This is still my weekend, so I will be waiting to hear from you so I can come get you. Next Friday is the 13th again and it will be a month that you have been away, I don’t want to wait that long before I get my next hug from you. Well, I really just wanted to say we all miss you and love you very much. I hope you get to read this, or better yet I hope you are back in my arms soon, so I can tell you in person. Don’t lose hope in our finding you. I will never lose hope in our search for you.

Always Loving You,

DAD  xoxo

Don’t lose hope, spread this  flyer around, ask your kids if they have seen her or know about her dissappearance, make conversation out of it.  Keep Amber in the top of your mind and we will bring her home safely.  As I wrote before, it doesn’t matter what led to her dissappearance, what matter is she is in danger, she is a child and needs to come home.
